How We Can Help You

Restore an entire arch of missing teeth with our full-arch dental implants. This treatment is ideal for patients who are missing all of their teeth on the top or bottom arch. In one surgery, we can place a full arch of implants, so you enjoy life-changing results in one day.

Implant-Supported Dentures

If you are missing a full-arch of teeth, you may be a candidate for our implant-supported dentures. This treatment combines the stability of dental implants with the convenience of dentures, so you can enjoy a beautiful and functional smile.

S.M.A.R.T Bone Grafting

If you have been told that you are not a candidate for dental implants due to bone loss, we may be able to help with our S.M.A.R.T bone grafting technique. This minimally invasive treatment can help to regenerate lost bone, so you can finally get the implants you have been dreaming of.

The NVP Process

Welcome

From your first phone call to our office, we will focus on getting to know you and your unique story. When you arrive for your initial appointment, you will be greeted by your dedicated Treatment Coordinator who will be your advocate throughout your care in our office.

Plan

Your Treatment Coordinator will orient you to our practice, and will introduce you to your periodontist. The doctor will listen to you, and will seek to clearly understand your medical and dental history. Then a complete, gentle exam will occur to document your specific oral condition. You will be empowered by the doctor’s clear explanation of your diagnosis and your appropriate treatment options. A customized Treatment Blueprint will be created.

Prepare

Your Treatment Coordinator will thoroughly review your Treatment Blueprint, and the associated payment options. NVP Treatment Coordinators are expert at finding a financing option to fit your budget, and at ensuring you are 100% prepared for your scheduled periodontal or implant treatment.

Perform

Your thorough education and preparation up to this point will put your mind at ease as you begin your treatment. Additionally, at NVP we combine our experience and knowledge with advanced technology and minimally invasive methods to ensure your safety and comfort, and to maximize your treatment outcome.

Maintain

Once we have celebrated the completion of your Treatment Blueprint, you will transition to the preventive phase of your care. Our Supportive Periodontal Therapy program involves uniquely timed, thorough oral cleanings and professional evaluations to avoid problems or the recurrence of disease.

"The doctor and his team are caring and friendly. They made the extraction and implant both physically and mentally painless. Their office is comfortable and their equipment looks new. A very positive experience."

Eric D.

"I had a wonderful experience at Northern Virginia Periodontics. The doctor was professional, friendly, and knows his way around oral tissue and cavity. The ancillary team was courteous and reassuring. I would highly recommend this practice."

Eleanor C.

“The whole team was extremely friendly and helpful with any questions I had. No one seemed like they were in a rush to get me out of the office. The doctor was extremely knowledgeable and explained my gum graft procedure in detail. I did not have any work there yet so I am only reviewing the consultation process. Will definitely return for dental work.”

A. D.

“Top-notch professional service from a welcoming team, through dental surgery and follow-up to close out of my dental issue. The doctor is a superb expert in his field and cares a lot that you know the score in layman’s terms.”

Tom & Anita G.

“Let's face it, if you need to see a periodontist there's likely a very good reason for it. This review is so I can share my sincere praise for the doctor and his team. They are simply the best in every way. This team is top-notch. I am confident that my eventual need for an implant was due to a gap in my dental care, brought on by a fairly traumatic experience with a dentist. Everyone here were good listeners and demonstrated that they cared about my comfort. My implant went perfectly and I now have a "tooth" for the rest of my life. I wish I could give them 6 stars!”

Susan C.

“Referred to Northern Virginia Periodontics. The doctor described the procedure very well and was very friendly. Follow-up appointment went very well due to the initial work. Entire team was great and had a positive "can do" attitude! We need more stars for this company!”
